Looking for a way to write a formula to lock rows if a cell has a specific value in it, or hide the rows.
Any ideas?
Hi,
You can set this with the help of "Alerts & Actions" and the "Lock a Row" feature.
There is no way to hide the row, but you could change the color with conditional formatting and otherwise, filters and reports are the best bet.
I hope this helps you!
Best,

Ok, thanks, I did not think it was possible, but wanted to ask.
What about adding a .png to a cell based on a formula?
Happy to help!
As far as I know, it isn't possible to add images based on formulas.
Ok, bummer, thank you!
Can you take a look at this and tell me where I am wrong?
=IF(Answers22 = "", "", TODAY()),OR(IF(Answers22 = "No", "", TODAY()))
What are you trying to do? Can you share the sheet or some screenshots?
=IF(Answers22 = "", "", TODAY()) <-this is a complete function
The system doesn't know what to do with anything after that because it's complete already.
At a glance, it looks like you need a nested IF statement. What inputs do you want to return with which values?
So for the Nested is it:
=IF(OR(Answers22 ="",Answers22="No",TODAY()) ?
Here you go
If it is NULL return NULL, if it is No return NULL else date()
=IF(OR(Answers22 = "", Answers22 = "No"), "", TODAY())
Your OR function belongs in the logical statement of your IF function.
The only issue with this for you would be that TODAY() will automatically update to the current date every time you open the sheet. Smartsheet does not currently provide time stamp capabilities.
Hello, I have a workflow where, when a team member checks a checkbox, Smartsheet automatically sends an email to themselves containing merge fields that are used as a customer email draft. The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
Hi all, reaching out to see if of you have ideas; I'm hoping this makes sense: I'm having some trouble getting my formulas to pull data in correctly. I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have #'s that pull from each project into each sheet's - sheet summary. Those then get pulled into a sheet summary report. They are currently grouped by what channel they are in. Each column gives a total sum. I was asked to see if we can combine the total sum into one number, so it shows how many total SKU's are being…
